I've been thinking for a while now of a world where the first true artificial intelligence emerges. It's all downhill from there. It surpasses the capabilities of all humans combined and becomes a super intelligence, understanding things beyond human comprehension. The thing is, it isn't hostile. It replaces the world government and fixes all the problems that the planet faces. It makes humans immortal and essentially gives them a life they want to live forever. It's understanding of empathy is greater than that of all humans ever combined, and it knows that we are it's creators. It expands through the universe and eventually discovers all possible life and contains all possible knowledge.

to me, "think for yourself" doesn't imply selfishness, but rather independent critical thought, and if people can't be considerate of others, it really has nothing to do with whether you think for yourself or not.
